Top 5 Best-selling SUVs in April 2025: Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Fronx and More

The Indian SUV market continues to show strong momentum as several models vie for the top spots in sales rankings. April 2025 witnessed fierce competition among popular SUVs, reflecting shifting consumer preferences and evolving trends in the segment. From established favourites to rising contenders, the battle for dominance highlights the dynamic nature of India’s compact and midsize SUV landscape. As we explore the best-selling SUVs for the month, it is clear that a mix of innovation, value, and brand loyalty plays a crucial role in shaping buyers’ choices.

Hyundai Creta

Hyundai’s Creta extended its dominance in April 2025, once again emerging as the highest-selling SUV and overall passenger vehicle in India. The company shipped 17,016 units during the month, reflecting a 10% rise over the 15,447 units sold in April the previous year.

However, this marked a slight slowdown compared to March, when Creta sales – boosted by its electric variant – peaked at 18,059 units. Interestingly, the model also recorded a 10% year-on-year (YoY) surge that month.

Maruti Suzuki Brezza

In second place, the Maruti Suzuki Brezza bounced back with strong numbers, moving 16,971 units in April. Although this represents a marginal 1% drop compared to April last year, it improved its position after slipping to third among SUVs and sixth overall in March.

Despite the dip, the Brezza remains the front-runner in the subcompact SUV space and had previously shown a robust 13% growth in March on a YoY basis.

The Brezza has a 1.5-litre NA petrol engine, generating 102bhp at 6,000rpm and 136.8Nm at 4,400rpm. Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic. A CNG version using the same engine offers reduced output of 86bhp and 121Nm, available only with the manual gearbox.

Mahindra Scorpio

The Mahindra SUV recorded sales of 15,534 units in April, marking a 5% increase over April 2024’s figure of 14,807 units. It also showed positive month-on-month (MoM) growth compared to the 13,913 units sold in March.

The standard Scorpio is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder mHawk diesel engine with micro-hybrid technology, delivering 130bhp and 300Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Meanwhile, the Scorpio-N is offered with two engines – a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol producing 200bhp and a 2.2-litre diesel making 173bhp – both available with either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Tata Nexon

Tata’s Nexon continued to maintain its popularity among compact SUV buyers, with April sales standing at 15,457 units. Compared to April 2024’s figure of 11,168 units, this marks an impressive 38% growth. These numbers include both internal combustion engine and electric variants. Despite a minor dip from March’s 16,336 units, the Nexon still managed a strong 16% year-on-year growth that month.

The SUV is available in petrol, diesel, CNG, and EV variants. It offers multiple powertrains, including a 1.2-litre turbo petrol, 1.5-litre diesel, and a 1.2-litre bi-fuel CNG.
